Select all true statements. In triaxial loading:When the water pressure increases, there is a transition from ductile to brittlebehavior.1-The confining pressure (03) is progressively increased to break the samplesubjected to uniform principal stresses (o1 = 02).2- When the confining pressure decreases, the behavior changes from strain-softening to strain-hardening. 3-When initially loaded, the rock specimen compresses and then begins to dilateas a result of internal fracturing.
